His spouse Beth was asked if she supports Howard taking a position with CNN while attending the TCAs over the weekend.

"[Howard] forwarded [the article] to me and I thought, 'That's a great idea'," she declared to Access Hollywood, adding: "Howard on CNN? I'd like to see it happen!"

She went on to say: "I don't think that he would bring strippers on! I think that he would take something like that very seriously.

"I think it would be really incredible for people to see that side of him - which I think people are kind of seeing on America's Got Talent. But I think on something like CNN it would be pretty awesome."
